I was recruited about 6 months ago to make a jump into an Enterprise role and did not hesitate leaving somewhere I was happy because the base salary was 40k higher than what I had. However, when I started there was zero on boarding, zero training and zero guidance to learn how to sell a very complex software in a complex (Federal) environment. I have had to essentially train myself on the software but they are big on (direct quote) "getting the PO and then innovating." This essentially means I am selling solutions that do not exist and aren't built yet, on top of all the other challenges. I now feel stuck because I am getting a high base but feeling hamstrung to actually succeed. I have began interviewing and all the questions these days seem to revolve around attainment and quotas. Would honesty be the best policy with recruiters or has anyone had a similar experience trying to escape a situation like this?
